DR TCB - yes, my name is Virginia. Many people call me Ginny, some call me Gin. Professionally, I use Virginia, because on the phone Ginny gets confused with Jenny. Also, Richard likes the more formal version of my name, and of his.
People have more trouble spelling Virginia than I'd expect. At Starbucks, they often ask your name and write it on your cup. The other morning, it looked like I was named for a pharmaceutical.
